Lines: 13 Message-ID: <4fp575$2k4s@news.gate.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: dfbfl3-46.gate.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.7 FreeBSD comes with 3 preconfigured console terminals. I have uncommented out the line in /etc/ttys to add more. The problem is now the system complains that it can not find the devices in /dev. Well I did not create those devices yet. I have been looking for the utility to create those additional devices and can not find it. I have used "MAKEDEV" without any luck. Should I be using "mknod" or what utility will create thoses for me? X will not work now because in "xf86OpenSyscon" thinks it has a ttyv4. Where is that kept as well? I know that xinit uses it. Any help is appreciated... Thanks Karl Philip Waddell
